But there is an interesting group, specifically in S/V: Team Star. From what I've seen, Star does appear to be somewhat left-wing, although it is kinda hard to place real-world political labels on a cartoon game made for U13s. I'd like to hear comrades' opinions on these things

Imagine being an enemy Pokemon that gets hit by an itemizer orb. One instant, you were a living organism, the next, you're an object. This raises all kinds of existential questions that get scarier the more you think about it. At what point are you killed by the process?
